What does it mean for the U.S. to intercept advanced weapons delivered by Iran to the Houthis?

It was seized at the end of last month; Including more than 200 boxes of missile parts, ** items and so on. It took more than half a month to release the news, which shows that Biden can't hold it down at home (**, the Biden team doesn't want to make trouble); Now the hydrangea is thrown, see how the parties pick it up. But earlier and more predictably, on January 15, the U.S. military intercepted a ** supply ship from Iran to the Houthis.

The U.S. Navy SEALs departed from the aircraft carrier USS Louis B. Pooler, supported by *** and drones, to board the dhow off the coast of Somalia, an international water area in the Arabian Sea; Iranian-made ballistic missile missiles and high-quality authors list cruise missile components were seized.

Specifically, it includes the engine of a medium-range ballistic missile, the engine, guidance device, armor-piercing warhead and anti-aircraft related accessories of an anti-ship cruise missile.

The point is that for the first time, the "Chinese-style" armor-piercing warhead of an Iranian anti-ship missile **. This is also the first time that the outside world has seen the semi-armor-piercing warhead of the Iranian "Noor" anti-ship missile. The Iranian "Noor" anti-ship missile is our export C-802 anti-ship missile, which Iran has imitated.

The pit in the warhead column of this missile is a self-forging fragmentation powder cover, which is a high-power semi-armor-piercing blasting warhead with self-forging fragmentation; The two rows of pit medicine covers on the surface, in addition to the impact and shrapnel of the detonation after detonation, will also form a self-forging fragmented projectile to increase the killing and destruction effect. In addition, the warhead has a thick armor-piercing shell with an anti-jump claw on the head, which can reliably pierce armor in the case of large angles, penetrate the ship's plank at the ship's waterline, and the time-delay fuse is set to 14 milliseconds, which can drill into the hull 3 to 4 meters**.

This self-forging fragmentation high-power warhead, which is also used in our YJ-8 8A 82 83 83K 84 series anti-ship missiles, is characterized by relatively low weight, but great armor-piercing and blasting power. How powerful is it? The high-power self-forging fragmentation semi-armor-piercing warhead, a single missile is enough to make a 3,000-ton frigate lose its combat effectiveness in an instant, and a 5,000-ton destroyer is heavily damaged!

However, what is interesting is that this high-power self-forging fragmentation semi-armor-piercing warhead technology is actually the best Cormorant anti-ship missile in West Germany in the 80s of the last century, and China has carried it forward after "acquiring" it, and improved its technical performance. Later, our export C-802 anti-ship missile was imitated by Iran into the "Noor" anti-ship missile; It was then transported to the Houthis for further improvement and became a "big killer" against Western ships; Creation makes people
